Weird War Tales #24 - non-attributed Alex Nino art

Weird War Tales v1 #24, 1974 - Much of Alex Nino's best work occurs in futuristic settings, and this issue is no exception. A ruthless dictator, on the verge of conquering the planet, eliminates his opposition and deceives the public into a war with an imaginary enemy. This story gives Nino the perfect opportunity to use his uniquely fantastical (and occasionally distorted) style. The tale's highlights include his stunning futuristic skyline on the bottom of page five and the gracefully drawn space battle on the following page. Other artists in this issue include Ernie Chua and Luis Domingez (cover). This is number 6 of 13 Weird War Tales issues with Nino art and/or covers.
